Honestly, I don't care what people seeking assistance at food banks do for a living, whether they work or not, what they drive, etc. People are hungry. Give them food to eat. Plain and simple.

The new HHS directive literally lists “Faithful Support of the President’s Policies” as the most critical element of an employee’s annual review. Workers now have to essentially prove their loyalty to Trump’s policies.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Paramount is cutting jobs this week, too. Mercy.

Amazon wanted Donald Trump in the White House, and he proceeded to crash the job market.

I haven't seen this reported elsewhere: The ACIP support staff is "gone." “It’s like the operating system for the advisory committee is gone,” said @drdemetre.bsky.social. “The hardware is there, the software is there” – but there’s no way to make the system run. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump let a mystery billionaire pay $130M to fund military salaries The law doesn’t allow an "end-around" when Congress hasn’t authorized these payments This raises serious legal and conflicts concerns I explained on @thebeat.msnbc.com👇

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

AND RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Venezuela claims it has captured CIA-linked mercenaries plotting a “false flag” attack to justify US military action.

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Murphy: "Trump is refusing to negotiate because he likes the fact the govt is closed, bc he thinks he can exercise King-like powers. He can pay the employees who are loyal to him. This is a leader who is trying to transition our govt from a democracy to something much closer to a totalitarian state"

Just for the record, in 2020: - Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey - Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes - Garland was an appeals court judge - Monaco was in private practice in LA There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise. He crazy.

These guys get $50k signing bonuses. Stephen Miller is telling them they have immunity and encouraging them to create chaos. They get almost no training, many couldn’t pass an open book exam & they’re allowed to hide their faces. They’re swinging assault rifles around in public. Abolish ICE

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Called it. There ya go. Justice Department says it will monitor California poll sites amid Prop. 50 voting search.app/qE3oZ

A friend recently told me that they didn’t think ICE would deploy tear gas in well to do neighborhoods with a high density of white people. I understood their thinking, but disagreed. Today, they gassed Lakeview. Nothing is off limits to these people.

FULL STORY: U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis ordered Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, who has led a series of increasingly aggressive raids across Chicago and the suburbs, to appear in her courtroom in person at 10 a.m. Tuesday. @wttw.bsky.social

Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US. And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

NEW: DHS is looking to build mobile surveillance units for regular trucks that combine AI, radar, high-powered cameras, and wireless networking into a single system capable of spotting movement from miles away. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/dhs-wa...

If you see ANYONE stealing food next month. NO YOU DIDN’T

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

They just murdered another six people in the Caribbean. They didn’t even know the names of the people they just blew up. Obviously there is no evidence of drug trafficking. They could board the boats. But no. They murder people without any due process and then they celebrate their heinous acts.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

“Kentucky’s experience since passing House Bill 5 – sometimes called the ‘SAFER Kentucky Act’ – last year shows that cracking down on public homelessness doesn’t end it. It just makes it harder to see and harder to solve.” Good read by @anabelrose.bsky.social

I was hesitant to blanket block government accounts with this list, and then I saw the kind of crap these accounts are skeeting. Block freely. This list is not a place of honor.
